Description

Observations and recording during excavation of a trench for a new water main revealed a heavily mixed layer with a small amount of building rubble throughout the trench. This was interpreted as possibly having been created from the stripping of the interior and dismantling of part of the castle following the second siege of the castle in 1645.
